Anthony Head

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Kim Cattrall has been tapped to star in ABC’s comedy pilot "Him and Us," which centers on a gay British rock star and his longtime manager.

Anthony Stewart Head will play the rock star, and Cattrall will play the manager, Freddie. The role originally was written for a male but is being reworked for Cattrall.

"Having a great comic actress like Kim is so exciting," said Elton John, the project’s executive producer. "I’m a huge fan of hers."

Cattrall, who won a Golden Globe for her role on HBO’s "Sex and the City," most recently co-starred in the feature "Ice Princess."
